George Carlin's last words... by knotheadusc Pros: Very funny material.
Cons: May offend some people. A little morbid. *Note: This review is about George Carlin's last album, which could mean that it could get profane. Parental guidance is suggested. I have been a George Carlin fan ever since I was about ten years old and happened to catch him doing stand up comedy ...

Are You Hung Up? by reubenremus Pros: This is Zappa's original '60s peak music-wise. His satirical approach saw full fruition here.
Cons: Zappa fans may prefer his many other styles, but this is among his best satire. It's of course difficult to pick just one of Zappa's albums as his magnum opus, since he was such a proflific artist. However, it's hard to argue that We're Only In It For The Money is the quintessential Zappa album of the '60s. This album was Zappa's ...

Best work in years by niceguymike Pros: Probably the best she's done in years.
Cons: If you can't deal with liberal politics or lesbians, move on. I've been a Melissa Etheridge fan for probably 20 years or so, and I consider The Awakening the best work she's ever done.It's easy to hear in her voice that, since major changes in her life (kids, divorce, a new love, cancer), she's found joy in ...

Spend "A Day in the Life" with Eric Benet: Just Don't Marry The Guy by speeddemon531 Pros: Smooth and seductive R&B with mature themes and lyrics.
Cons: A handful of banal love songs that take away from the album's overall quality. It's kind of a shame when talented artists find themselves achieving notoriety for their extracurricular exploits. Eric Benet is one such artist. The Milwaukee native has recorded four solid albums over the past decade or so, but he's best known as the ...

The Confirmation Album by andaryl Pros: A bunch of great songs
Cons: Cleaner than Definitely Maybe 1995 was a busy time for Oasis. They were just stepping into the height of their success, and (What rsquo;s the Story) Morning Glory < b> would eventually mark their highest point.< p> Definitely Maybe< b> hit #1 in the UK album charts, and ...

All I can say is WOW! by imdamom Pros: Upbeat, easy to listen to, feel good, toe tapping
Cons: none that I found. Window rsquo;s Media Player classifies Melee rsquo;s Devils amp; Angels as alternative. I couldn rsquo;t agree more; it rsquo;s an alternative to the mindless drivel that is being released at record speeds these days. Devils amp; Angels is pop ...

He carries a martini made of Bathtub Gin by GregRadiohead Pros: Another great album of Phish classics
Cons: More a collection of songs than a proper 'album' Though Phish always had total freedom and control over their live shows, I've always gotten the impression that their record label--Elektra--exerted a lot of pressure on the band insofar as their studio releases were concerned. Band members have hinted ...

Before He Was Truly “The Teacha,” KRS-One Was “The Blastmaster” by balogun Pros: Some firsts in the rap genre; KRS-One the MC commands attention on the mic.
Cons: The production might be too stripped down for some. There they are: Two young black men brandishing firearms in the album rsquo;s front cover, one with a pistol and the other with an Uzi. And there it is: the title of the project mdash;the first word in an imposing red while the other is in a spaced-out ...

The Birth of Britpop by andaryl Pros:
Great intro album Cons: Simple lyrics When Oasis jumped to fame with Definitely Maybe it was something of a spit in the face at the British music industry at that time. They took their cue from predecessors such as The Stone Roses, The Charlatans, The Wedding Present and Inspiral Carpets. ...

Alison Krauss's "Now That I've Found You": An Enjoyable Collection of Love Songs by Horswispr Pros: good song selection; excellent musicianship; Krauss's vocals
Cons: so much love I need to watch a baseball game or something Alison Krauss and Union Station are among today's elite bluegrass musicians. Krauss' fiddle playing is awesome and her voice is pure and sweet. "Now That I've Found You" is a collection of love-oriented songs mostly taken from Krauss's albums with Union ...

Not Quite All "The Very Best Of Lisa Loeb" (But Almost Close Enough)! by wlswarts Pros: Decent mix of radio hits, Good voice, Nice lyrics
Cons: Somewhat basic instrumentals (does not capture Loeb's full range). It's a rare opportunity for me where I get virtually all of the works of an artist in and then their "Best of" album comes in for me to evaluate right around the same time. The reason this is a treat for me is simple: I can very easily look at my ...

CHEAP TRICK-SEX AMERICA by Phibes69 Pros:
A 64 track compilation, of rarities and unreleased material, loyally representative of Cheap Trick's career. Cons: "Cold Turkey" is missing. Hello There hellip;Ladies and Gentlemen hellip;Are You Ready To Rock Cheap Trick is undeniably one of Rock N Roll rsquo;s most underrated and underappreciated bands. Selling over 20 million records, recipients of 40 gold and platinum awards and ...

Lisa Loeb Tells Listeners "The Way It Really Is" And Gets It (Mostly) Right! by wlswarts Pros: Good voice, Decent instrumentals, Nice lyrics, Decent balance between production and natural sounds
Cons: Sounds derivative on a number of tracks, SHORT! Lisa Loeb is one of those artists I am pretty surprised it has taken me so long to get around to listening to; I have enjoyed her few radio hits and now that I am taking in her recorded library, I am finding myself pleasantly surprised that her works ...

When Wolf Parade Disappoint, It Stings. by knowncutter Pros: Wolf Parade get smarter and showcase more impressive songwriting chops.
Cons: Two songwriting geniuses... and they don't interact. More difficult record overall. There aren’t too many albums that I consider personal landmarks, but Wolf Parade’s debut, “Apologies to the Queen Mary,” is one of the most important albums I have ever listened to. I can even faintly remember the moment listening to “Dear Sons and ...

Standing Out On a Crowded Street: Dave Matthews Band's Complex, Dark Masterpiece by speeddemon531 Pros: Dave Matthews takes giant steps lyrically, and the band is complex as ever musically.
Cons: Those that think DMB is a good-time party band are in for a big surprise. I can understand why a lot of folks don't like the Dave Matthews Band. I don't even know if there's a tangible reason other than the contempt a lot of people have for the drunken college kids that seem to populate the band's concerts. Either way, I can ...

The Last Tour on Earth, by Marilyn Manson by cdm72 Pros:
Contains some of Manson's best songs. Cons: Overall I am very much underwhelmed. You gotta be careful when you rsquo;re buying live albums from even your most favorite bands. It rsquo;s really a crap shoot. Sometimes you may wind up with a live album that sounds live and like the audience is having a good time, cheering and singing ...

Grumble...Lisa Loeb, Why Do You Have To Be So Good With Your "Cake AND Pie?!" by wlswarts Pros: Lyrics, Vocals, Overall feel of album

Music to Get You Through the Cold Winter; There Will be Tears by knowncutter Pros: Raw, emotional folk with pop sensibilities.
Cons: You have to be in an introspective mood for most of the album. A couple of weeks ago, my roommates and I went on a "House" all-you-can-watch binge. Dr. House is a pretty damn captivating character, and the show itself is addicting enough that we watched all the way from episode one to the season finale from last ...
